    This is simply the best controller in gaming, and the quality is much improved over the original version of the controller. I think Xbox has a gem of a product and will continue to innovate and improve.

    I would not recommend this to a casual player. This is a hefty price but if you are looking into have a slightly better advantage in fps. I would highly recommend this controller!

    So many people have tried this controller and keep having to replace it for stick drift, a button not tegistering and bumpers not working like they should. Its a well known and documented issue and im on my 5th one now. Definitely get the protection plan because it covers these issues and can be swapped out in store!

    The Series 2 is priced a little high. I absolutely love it tho. You can adjust tension on the joysticks, has 3 different profiles and 3 different quick fire settings. Oh, cant forget the rechargeable battery. Its a gaming must have.

    ...caveat being that it is the only controller I have used except that which came with my Xbox. But it is a lovely controller. I have dexterity issues with the paddles on the bottom. But love the short trigger pull!

    This is an awesome controller. Has great feel and weight to it. All the removable parts are magnetic so you can swap them out quickly but they stay in place while using it. Adjustable triggers are great for quicker response time.
